Basic caution is a sandboxed environment, anything less is foolish.
If you torrent games you will get a virus eventually, because your bank info is worth more than uploader clout.
I’m happy to hear an alternate viewpoint if you have any point besides “lol you just don’t get it”.
Also “don’t trust piracy” my ass, my plex library is bigger than your mom.
I’m just not stupid enough to get PC herpes.
Who tf
I have like 600 games in my backlog between emulation and steam sales, why would I risk a keylogger snatching my bank info?
You think you’re safe using a private tracker? Lol
I might trust fitgirl repacks, if I was truly broke and desperate and kept it to my gaming only partition.
I would never execute a pirated app in a non sandboxed environment, that’s just silly.
Just buy games on steam like the rest of the world.
I’m talking movies and anime personally
None, just use a VPN and thepiratebay/nyaa/whatever else and stop being a baby
Some engines get better and some just get more and more spaghetti duct tape.
Emulating old games is almost entirely safe. Sure it might be possible for a rom to have something injected in it that takes advantage of some emulator vulnerability but it’s extremely unlikely and I’ve never heard of it. Keep on doing that.
Modern games (or any other .exe files) are very risky. And you may never know you have a keylogger.
If there was no risk I’d pirate modern games. However you usually can’t play online anyway. And having all my games in one place on steam is very nice, with cloud saves and family sharing too.
